APA Hotel Nagoya Ekimae Minami

Convenient location on a fairly quiet street. Toyota Car-rental is very close to the hotel making for easy pick-up. There is a large Family Mart convenient store located just opposite the road. Not far walk from Nagoya Shinkansen station too. Several anime related stores located behind the hotel. Unusually larger room for a business hotel. The room was comfortable with under-bed storage for suitcases. The chair has roller wheels which is a nice touch for not being an obstacle. Recycle bins for plastics located in room. Wifi was fast and stable. Free APA-TV movies were available during our visit. Unsure if this is a promotional period or permanent. Heated toilet seat and heaps of bathroom amenities like toothbrushes, combs, disposable razor etc. Light switches built into bed headboard for convenient reach. Plenty of hooks located on the walls for hanging coats and jackets. Friendly staff that speak English. Coin laundry machines at the ground floor and staff always has change for notes into coins.

The hotel is very close to Nagoya Station, which makes it very convenient for travelling around the area! APA Hotels also make it very easy to drop off bags early or keep them at the hotel after check-out as well as quick and easy check outs. This property's rooms are a bit on the smaller side, so I'd recommend this more for solo travelers or those who don't need much space. There was still ample luggage space, so for the Nagoya area this was a FANTASTIC value!

Hotel restaurant(Yebisu Meieki) is also good too; taste fried pork steak, discount for checked-in customers. Very good location to reach Nagoya station, included JR Central, Kinitetsu and Meitetsu station/Bus terminal, plus Aonami line. Good luggage storage service.

From the station it only takes 7~8mins by walk and easy to find. There are 2 convenient stores around the hotel. At least 2 staffs were always there and kind.

The facilities were nice but confusing. The elevators didn't want to work sometimes. I had to get help to operate them. The staff were super friendly but too eager to help. They offered help before you asked which can be a bad thing. Overall I appreciated it but wish they would wait until you asked for help.
